I remember reading Robert Manry's Tinkerbelle[1] as a child, and ever since have had something of a fascination with the idea of sailing solo; although at my now-fairly-advanced age I accept that I'm going to keep my ambitions severely in check.

- yetanotherloser 4y agoFor what it's worth, I sail and the average other sailboat I meet is sailed solo by an older guy. A small to medium coastal cruiser/overnighter type seems to be the sweet spot, can be easier to single-hand than many kinds of dinghy, cheaper and with easier boat handling than big cruisers and less to go wrong. So it may not be Atlantic crossing but I hope you get some sailing in.
